Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000#comment-720406I would like to see some kind of complicated multileveled domino sculpture with magnetised dominoes so when the row below starts toppling the magnets right the row above. It would likely be near impossible, but cooler than anything that is electrified.
